Sun Miaoqing knew that at this moment, each of the three of them had a book of 100,000 whys in their hearts.
However, she was not going to explain. She believed that leaders should always maintain an air of mystery. If subordinates knew everything about a leader, where would the leader's authority be?
"You don't need to know where I found out. This matter is not a top secret. Putting aside everything else, which of the more than twenty imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital who examined Consort Hua's pulse did not know?"
"Everyone in the palace knows that Consort Hua treats me well and often invites me to dine at Yikun Palace. If I am really pregnant, then what is the meaning of Huan Yi Xiang?"
Physician Lu finally understood why Sun Miaoqing had asked that question when he heard him say it was a happy pregnancy.
He is truly innocent!
However, the Emperor and Empress Dowager never cared about the concubines visiting Yikun Palace, so the musk content in Huanyi Incense should not be high, and it must take a long time for it to be effective.
Physician Lu knelt down, took out his eating utensils again, and said through gritted teeth, "Please allow me to take your pulse again, Your Highness."
Sun Miaoqing stretched out her hand, and this time Physician Lu switched between her left and right hands, asking her questions in detail.
He pondered for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before his brow relaxed.
Sun Miaoqing asked, "How is it? Has Lord Lu made any progress?"
She couldn't help but be anxious. If she hadn't been betrayed, it was highly likely that she was experiencing symptoms of a false pregnancy. Besides stress, false pregnancies can also be caused by illnesses such as lupus.
This disease is no ordinary one; it will remain a difficult and complex ailment even hundreds of years from now, let alone now!
Physician Lu said, "As you guessed, Your Highness, you are indeed not pregnant, but it is not due to medication, but rather to an illness."
"But don't worry, my lady, although this disease is rare, it is not a difficult disease to treat. It is easy to cure. And even if you don't treat it, as long as you pay attention to your diet and get plenty of rest, you can recover on your own in three months."
Upon hearing this, Sun Miaoqing's heart finally settled down. It was good that she was alright. She had already thought about how to write the epitaph in her mind.
Rose asked, "Lord Lu, what is the reason for this?"
Physician Lu said, "The young lady has a constitution that is prone to coldness, and she likes to eat cold foods such as crabs, so she has always had irregular menstruation."
“In the past, you were taken care of by Madam Sun at home, but after entering the palace, there was no one to restrain you. In addition, Consort Hua spoiled you so much that you had no dietary restrictions, which is why you are like this.”
"I have only heard my father mention this case once before, and I have never seen it before in all these years. The pulse and symptoms are very similar to those of a pregnant woman, with only minor differences."
"Many doctors, even those with excellent medical skills, have never heard of or seen such a case, let alone diagnosed it. When the symptoms subside and menstruation returns, they will only assume it was due to a miscarriage."
"Your Majesty, I will now prescribe a remedy. You will recover in less than half a month by following the prescription."
After saying that, Physician Lu picked up paper and pen and went to the side to write a prescription. He quickly wrote out a prescription and handed it to Sun Miaoqing for confirmation.
Holding the prescription, she suddenly had a brilliant idea. Just when she was wondering how to get revenge on the fat orange cat, the opportunity presented itself.
This illness is truly a blessing in disguise!
Sun Miaoqing asked, "Imperial Physician Lu, you said very few people know about this disease. What about the other imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital?"
Physician Lu didn't quite understand what he meant, but he still spoke truthfully, "There are many skilled physicians in the palace, but most of them come from families of physicians. They are mostly relatives of the emperor and high-ranking officials, so they have limited experience with cases and are probably unaware of these things."
“A small number of imperial physicians, like myself, have made a name for themselves by practicing medicine among the common people for many years. After being valued by local officials, they are recommended to take the imperial medical examination. If they pass, they can enter the imperial medical hospital to serve.”
"These imperial physicians have treated countless people in the countryside and have seen countless cases, but if we were to say that they could diagnose this disease, at most one out of ten would be able to find a diagnosis."
"Furthermore, if he hadn't been told it was this illness, four months ago he would most likely have just thought it was pregnancy and wouldn't have been able to find out."
Upon hearing this, Sun Miaoqing finally smiled. "That's great! This way, no one will suspect that she's faking her pregnancy."
"Thank you for your hard work today, Physician Lu. I am two months pregnant, but I ate too many candied oranges, which caused me to vomit and disturb the fetus. I need to rest well and avoid any major emotional fluctuations."
"Doctor Lu, do you understand?"
Lu Jingsi had just stood up when he heard these words, and his legs went weak, so he knelt down again.
"My lord... what is this...?"
"Please reconsider, Your Highness."
Sun Miaoqing said, "I've thought about it five times, not just three times!"
"Lord Lu just told me with absolute certainty that no one else could diagnose it, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Physician Lu said, "But there is no fetus in the young lady's womb. A child is born after ten months of pregnancy. This child cannot be faked!"
Rose and Lily of the Valley both nodded repeatedly; they didn't have the ability to steal a child in.
Sun Miaoqing said, "I didn't say I was really going to give birth. I'll just have an unexpected miscarriage in two months."
Anyway, there are so many unexpected things happening in the palace, she doesn't need to think of any solutions; the Empress can handle everything for her.
